Re: installing ports xorg - Unknown solution
Heh, there were too many factors as possible culprits in the system. Glen Barber's command started to run, until I cancelled it when my laptop battery died... :D I'm not 100% sure what the problem was, but here's what I did... . The PC has a msk ethernet device, which I wasn't 100% sold I'd use it, . It's also behind a Linux-based firewall (corporate purchase) that ... doesn't always want to work, . I re-csup'd ports, it updated some stuff, but nothing in x11/ . I forgot it for the weekend, went into work, slapped it onto our other network (which isn't behind the Linux firewall), and initiated an install.. it started . Keeping it on the other network, I finished xorg, then installed kde4 with repeated fetch timeouts on both installs. . Remembered I had a broadcom ethernet card... installed it. . Finished installing everything, and is now my primary desktop at work. So, either the bad csup, odd msk ethernet, or the (VERY fustrating) Linux firewall was at fault. Not sure what, but all is working now. --Tim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Yes, FreeBSD/devd/devfs had created a kbd0 and ums0 HAL just didn't seem to recognize ums0 being listed too.. maybe because before it setup kbd0, ums0 appeared and it just got left behind? maybe because it already linked kbd0 to the plug/jack it was plugged into, it ignored the second device (this case, the mouse)? I even tried (by of course powerdown first) the USB+Mouse PS2 plug (both as original plug onto the Logitech pair) in case it might have picked up the PS2 and let it run with that --- it didn't find the PS2 mouse (by "found" I mean Xorg adding/enabling that device so the cursor moves). I was more concerned today (@work) to get my desktop operational. I can try later to diagnose, pick apart, etc etc the flaws of dbus and/or hal to submit a report. I felt it was necessary to announce this shortcoming, in case the OP was trying to use the same kind of device. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I think the FreeBSD documentation makes it easy enough. :-) NBo, honestly: It's so easy, simply put in the CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

But then, FreeBSD surely isn't for them. For those users, PC-BSD and DesktopBSD are much better ways to go. They do still have a functional FreeBSD OS, but the installer is with nice graphics and guides them through a "next, next, next, next, next, reboot" procedure as they know it from "Windows". If you want to have a look at it, these are the homepages: PC-BSD ===>http://www.pcbsd.org/ DesktopBSD ===>http://www.desktopbsd.net/ And PC-BSD even provides an installer (PBI) that makes "Windows" users feel at home: Download something from the web manually, then click "next, next, next, finish" and have an application installed. :-) > I really am interested in freebsd, but I don't want to mess up my OS's > on my drive either. You don't need to be frightened of that. In order to wipe off something you still need, you will have to be VERY stupid. :-) FreeBSD provides means that warn you if you're accidentally doing something wrong. But please keep in mind that FreeBSD relies on the circumstance that IF you instruct it to do something, you're SURE that you want to do so. Everything you need is some free space on the disk. Anything else keeps unmodified. > My main interest is wanting to learn how to develop code on linux and/or > freebsd. Then you won't encounter any problems. As a Linux user, you're already equipped with basic UNIX knowledge that will help you to understand FreeBSD. > If I had a second drive on my computer, could I install freebsd on the > 2nd drive and still select it from the boot list Of course.

We have something of the sort runing between a Thai university and the National University of Laos. Purpose is to connect the Lao University to the Thai university and research network. Expected speed is 10Mbps. You can email me personnally at the end of April, then I will be able to give you more details :) I will not go to Laos before one month, until then I cannot remember the brand of the radio equipment. National University of Laos used to have their network with remote campus locations build over air, using public grade WiFi access-points, they were not really stable. Regarding your set-up, I think it is nothing different from: LAN<->BSDrouter<-1->DSL only the link between the BDSrouter and the DSL provider is a bit longer. On your concern about traveling 10KM at 3:00, you can locate the BSDrouter at either end of the radio link, it will not change much of the volume of traffic crossing the radio link, unless the BSDrouter is also doing some heavy proxying. So you could locate the BSDrouter at the closest end to your home. Only one remark, if that BSDrouter is to serve as DHCP and such, it is best located at the LAN end: if the radio link goes down, the clients on the LAN can still access their DHCP server, and they can still communicate inside the LAN. If the BSDrouter is located at the DSL end and the radio link goes down, the clients in the LAN will not manage to get IP and will not be able to communicate among eachothers.

I haven't used any MICROS~1 products yet, and I've installed Ubuntu just from its CD or DVD for testing purposes, but I'm not a Linux user, so I definitely don't have much experience in this sector. > I'm not sure how they did that using the "wubi installer" But if freebsd > could do something like that, it would be great. Hmmm... I may still ask: What should it be good for, exactly? Those who want to use FreeBSD usually install it by one of the standard means. They usually don't have "Windows" or do already want to use a two-or-more-OS system, but they don't run the installer from within "Windows". (Side note: I think there's already a tool that lets you install FreeBSD from within Linux, useful if you want to replace an already pre-loaded OS on a server where you don't have physical access to simply put in the FreeBSD installation CD.) Those who want to try FreeBSD don't install it, they run it from a live system CD (e. g. FreeSBIE) or use it in an emulator (and install it there). Furthermore, there's VirtualBSD: http://www.virtualbsd.info/ for maximum "Windows" compatibility. :-) > But will it over write the bootup list or the windows or ubuntu > software. No. At installation time, you can instruct it to leave the boot area of your hard disk untouched. The only thing you may need is to put a setting into the boot manager you're using at the moment to boot between Ubuntu and "Windows" so it can also boot into FreeBSD. Maybe your boot manager automatically detects the new OS and adds a choice by itself. You can, however, use FreeBSD's boot manager to make the boot selection at system startup. Everything you need is some disk space on your hard disk (not occupied by any slice, "partition" how it's called by "Windows"). The installer allows you to delete anything existing (what you don't need anymore) and create a slice to install FreeBSD in. You can also install it on another (physical) hard disk. > Or does freebsd offer a choice to install without messing > anything up.

I'm not sure I do understand "install FreeBSD on 'Windows'" - what does "on" refer to? a) Start an installer from within "Windows" that installs FreeBSD on the system b) Run FreeBSD within "Windows" by means of an emulator c) Run FreeBSD as an application in Windows In DOS times, there was a tool that booted Linux from within DOS. Because things are more complicated in "Windows", I don't think such a tool does exist - it would have to kick "Windows" out of memory, and we know that it doesn't like that. :-) But it's still possible to use FreeBSD without leaving "Windows". You need an emulator. I don't know how they are called in "Windows", but they do exist in FreeBSD as well, for example qemu. In "Windows", there's "VMWare" that you can buy. Using such a means of emulation, you can install FreeBSD on a "virtual PC" and then use it as it would run on "bare metal". > I'm just a person that can't afford more than one computer cause I live > in a nursing home and I would like to be able to use one computer to > choose what I want to boot into, such as windows or unbuntu and maybe a > freebsd choice.

RE: renaming many Chinese files
Just a very quick thought (the first that pops into my mind): you could see which are the western characters that appear in the names, and then use sed to substitute all non-matching characters with nothing, something like: for i in *.jpg; do b="`echo $i | sed 's/[^CHAR_SET]//g'`"; mv $i $b; done (without forgetting, obviously, to add . to the CHAR_SET, something like: [^a-zA-Z0-9.]; if you figure out a less clumsy way, please, share!!) I'm guessing that the initial 'P123' is just an example, or this will horribly backfire. But I'm really, REALLY, taking a shot in the dark here...

renaming many Chinese files
I have hundreds of jpg images where each image is named P123.jpg where the are chinese characters. I can't open the file - it has to be renamed before I can open it. Evening if I could open it I don't want the Chinese part as the name. Each file starts with 3 or four western characters and then has 3 or four chinese characters, before the western .jpg extension. I want to to test each filename character by character to see if it is western, and then when the first Chinese Character is found, have it simply rename the file to the 3 or four western-character name + .jpg I can write most of the script but I don't know how to test for western and/or Chinese characters. I could run a script that would simply rename all the files to a number in sequential order but I would rather use the existing starting name of the file if possible. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The apache module compile is off by default since somewhere in 2006 and I keep forgetting that occasionally :( So people using pkg_add -r php5 will not get mod_php5.

Just put the line ports-all tag=. in your supfile whenever you do the csup. Remember what the ports tree is - a skeleton for installing ports. Doing this will just bring the tree up to date. Then you will need to build and install the desired ports to get the actual utilities updated.

Re: utility that scans lan for client?
I suspect that you don't have a switch that can port 'mirror' or 'span'. If you do, let us know. Otherwise, if you *really* want to find out what is on your switched Ethernet network, and nmap/arp etc. isn't enough, then I'd recommend an application called 'ettercap'. It runs on the CLI, and a colleague also has a nice GUI for it (under Linux) as well. This will allow you to infiltrate the network at Layer-2 by arp poisoning all connected devices, and intercepting all traffic. Essentially, you perform a MitM, and you become the host (or in a small environment the default gw) that the device is trying to talk to. This way, you can find out not only what the host is, but what it is saying. Please understand that this approach has significant side effects. You can do extensive harm to your local network by using this approach, so read up on it, and be careful. Know what you are doing, and know the ramifications of simply disconnecting yourself from the network prior to stopping the procedure. Not only that, but if you don't own control of the switched environment, this is a very good way to get yourself blocked completely from it. This tactic, and port mirror/span/monitor are the easiest ways to know what is really going on with regards to the wire (if you don't have ACL's and other mitigation/protection strategies already in place). Thanks. This is probably overkill for this little LAN. There are only 8 machines on it, mainly servers and a big printer and this Vonage device. The clients are mainly wireless devices that come and go, depending on who is in the building. The network is just one Cisco router and an Apple Airport Extreme for wireless (the best wireless access point I've ever used.) The wireless network just extends the wired LAN, so all wired and wireless devices are in the same address space. We actually have a couple cheap Airport Express boxes spread around the building, but they are essentially repeaters for the Airport Extreme, to extend the range. All the machines are either FreeBSD servers or Apple laptops (with the occasional rogue Windows laptop that sneaks in :-) The whole network is simple and cheap, with a minimum of wires, but it works. It just bugged me that I didn't know the IP address of the Vonage box. - John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Some discussions I've seen suggest that you add a queue on your internal interface too and limit the bandwidth entering your LAN.

I managed to install Release 6.4 amd64. I cvsup'ed to RELENG 7.1 amd64. I trimed down the kernel to keep only the devices needed by the hardware. It appreas that device sio is among the ones that hang the load of GENERIC kernel. "make kernel" would produce a bunch of lines like: kldxref: unknown metdata record 0 in file if_zyd.ko.symbols kldxref: unknown metdata record 0 in file if_zyd.ko.symbols kldxref: unknown metdata record 0 in file if_zyd.ko.symbols but 7.1 would boot nevertheless. After installing world on 7.1, the make kernel runs cleanly.
